So I contacted Amazon about the Inception/Transformers lightning deal mess from this morning and they gave me a $5 GC. Kudos to Amazon.

My wife placed an order for two books this afternoon, and the order does not appear in our order history at all. I think this may have been during the period when the site was going haywire. Will have to see if the CC was charged or not, but I doubt it.

I was going to order Scarface steelbook after finding another item today, and now Amazon raised the price. I hate not having Prime.

Thats exactly what happened. I hit add to cart literally the second it was available. I thought I had it. It kept spinning "updating deal" or something like that. Then I was added to the waitlist 500+ deep. This was for the $250 Acer. It really feels like they have extremely limited quantities this time around. I dont remember ever seeing so many claimed in a matter of seconds. Especially with DVDs and stuff

Has this Black Friday week been the biggest failure for Amazon ever or what? Sure, a few good deals here and there but come on. We have had, in my opinion, lackluster sales overall, and their servers have just been destroyed, that it just doesn't seem all that great to me. I usually buy a ton of stuff from Amazon and so far it has just been two things. I despise Best Buy but so far I have bought way more stuff from them. I just think that's odd.
I'm definitely happy.

For Movies, Amazon sales were good, but probably close to their pricing formula last year as well. But the B&Ms are now so much more aggressive in pricing, finally catching up with Amazon, that it does not seem as great as we were used to. I visited Best Buy and Target today and was really surprised at the pricing for a lot of their dvds/blus. They were really priced to sell, and if you're a big fan, it is a great couple of days for picking up your favorites.
For other items, I would say Amazon is doing great with their lightning deals, given that stock of popular items can be sold out in just a few minutes. I myself have purchase a lot of electronic items and video games at Amazon this week, and a lot less movies this time around.

In the last two/three days we have been talking about the $1.00 mp3 credit and the orders. The other day for the 1st time in a very long time. I order 5 Blu-Rays, and 3 TV shows all at once. Today I get 8 emails saying ship. All 8 by UPS, all 8 difference tracking numbers. 6 ship from the same warehouse, the others two others (total of 3). Oh all coming on Nov 29. If they are trying to save this would have been the order to save on shipping.
Wondering if they are going to run a sale for two and a half men (order 3 sets of the 8 out). BTW how much is Ben-Hur at best buy I cannot fine the price on that one.

Here's the link, but it's not working today. I'm pretty sure that they have had it every Thursday.

Put season 4 & 5 in the cart. In the end it would be more then Amazon at $12.99. I remember right its their shipping (this would be the same with anywhere) that is why I do not buy from them.

I expected $3.99. Not 50 cents cheaper than what Best Buy was selling it for over the past few months.

GoHastings sent out some unique codes earlier this week. To my surprise it worked on new dvds.

Just find some people to split it with. You can have up to 5 "family members," so when all is said and done, it's pretty damn cheap for a year's worth of prime.

Is that version of Stargate a good one? I know there are a couple different versions out there (or at least there were at one time).
I have to purchase a CD as a gift later today in a Lightning Deal, and while I have Prime, I would prefer to combine it.
